Children understand and simplify basic ideas that your average adult might complicate because of their "oh so complicated" lifestyle. Children break down the idea of "saving water to save money" to "make sure there is enough water for everyone". Although every child grows up to choose exactly what he/she wants to be reverent about, the more educated and environmentally savvy will definitely play a more dominate role in their society.
Thomas Kuhn, author of "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions"(1962) states that every human being works from a "paradigm" or worldview, and every core decision or belief trails back to that fundamental paradigm. I believe this to be true to a certain extent. If in fact we part from one fundamental belief pattern, then it is crucial to implement the responsibility of Earth awareness into that mix.
I will attempt to create a systematic curriculum to help teachers and parents teach the importance each child is to the outcome of our Mother Earth. By delegating "Adult" responsibilities that are simplified by each child, I will attempt to not only Educate but create the correct "Paradigm" so that in the future that child will grow up to know and understand exactly how our world works.
The Structure of Scientific Revolutions by Thomas Kuhn, is an analysis of the history of science. Its publication was a landmark event in the history, philosophy, and sociology of scientific knowledge and it triggered an ongoing worldwide assessment and reaction in — and beyond — those scholarly communities.
